Custom Bag order

When I made myself a Tote bag for the first time I used this fabric.

You might recognise it as coming from Ikea, they have a great range of Fabrics for bags and book coverings. Used sparingly, I think that it looks lovely and it is so hard wearing as well!

I paired it up with some dotty lining with two pockets and a clip for the keys.

It is off to England, so I hope that the new owner loves it!

Harmony Day Pinny

I had a real "Sound of Music" moment on Thursday night. The place where Tori goes to childcare had "harmony" day on Friday and they requested that we all dress the kids in orange. The only fabric that I had was this Ikea Fabric ....


So I made her a pinny to wear ... rough around the edges, but it met the criteria .... 1) orange, 2) hardwearing, 3) using a pattern that I am developing ...


I lined it in black cotton and the back of the pinny is black cotton with a metal snap closure. Trying to get a picture of her was hard ... she kept on running around. Back and forth from Dadda to Mammy ... she calls me Mammy ...


Tori loves her Dadda .... I love this picture .... the bliss upon my husbands face is priceless!
